Puroresu Watch Later / Rewatch
What is this place?
This page started off as a double list to keep track of which puro show I want to
watch next and which shows I'd like to rewatch some day. After a while this wasn't
really a need for me. But after a while of watching lots of wrestling I feel the need
to write down what I saw (otherwise I usually forget lol) first and foremost.
I was doing that on cagematch for quite a while, but then I remembered this page exists,
so why not do it here? These notes are mostly for personal and archival use anyway.
I can do more stuff on this site too, add gifs, ramble more, make dedicated pages
for promotion like the Sportiva page.
The Watch Later section obviously contains the shows I want to watch next.
The Rewatch section contains shows I've already watched (doesn't necessarily
mean I'll rewatch them all). There are no limits to which promotion I'll add
here, barring maybe promotions that have their own dedicated page. I watch
most of my wrestling on Wrestle Universe, but if there's any wrestling shows
I found in the wild I'll have the links to them here. You can think of it as a
source of information! The promotions I watch most lately are Marigold and SenJo,
but Marvelous, JTO, shoot-style stuff and maybe even some DDT should pop up
from time to time. Shows in Rewatch are sorted with most recent show date on top.
Have fun reading!
Watch Later
- Sendai Girls - 2025.11.18 - Sendai Girls Pro Wrestling in Sendai PIT

- You would expect SenJo to take it easy on a show sandwiched between Hashimoto's and Iwata's anniversary shows. Nuh-uh.
YUNA tries herself against 2AW rookie Yuka Satsuki. Bob Bob Momo Banana take on Ryo Mizunami and Chi Chi, this should be fun.
Main event SYURI!!!! in a tag match with Lady C against Team 200kg! No days off for big Hash. I've only seen one match of Syuri where
she went up against Giulia, so I know she can deliver the goods. This should be a big match. Love the Stardom - SenJo
collaboration. ~1h 50m
- Sendai Girls - 2025.11.22 - Mika Iwata 10th Anniversary Event "Kick Thunder Claw Marks"

- SenJo's surly striker will take on her rival Saori Anou in a tag match with Miyuki Takase and Ryo Mizunami. Say what you will
about SenJo's booking, but they're the only promotion where I am more excited for a tag team main event rather than a
singles match. They always deliver on their tag team wrestling. Team 200kg will take on FWC in their hometown mere days before
Yuu's retirement. Tag belts on the line! Manami returns from injury tagging with Matsumoto against VENY and Chi Chi,
this should also be good. YUNA vs Yura Suzuki rookie match has the potential to surprise. ~2hr. Love these runtimes, there is
absolutely no fluff on SenJo.
- At Farm Care Co., Ltd. Presents Osaka Castle Festival

- Osaka Pro??? What's that?? Multiple title matches in this, gorgeous ring filled with labels names and logos. ~3h
- Marigold True Victory 27/12/2025

- Marigold's last show before the big one in Hatsuyume. One-day Twin Star Cup tag team tournament! This should be fun. ~2hr 30m
- Marigold First Dream 2026 3/1/2026

- The big one of the year. Unfortunately I won't be able to watch it for a while cause I won't pay for the PPV.
Looking forward to Yuzuki vs Koshino for the UN title and Hayashishita vs GoChika. Aono vs Sakurai
on the main I think could surprise me...
- SPWF - 1998.04.19 - Isamu Teranishi 30th Anniversary

- This blog
suggests a match from this show. It looks sleazy and small-time, the wrestling takes place outside, it would be nice
to watch this as a curiosity. I've never heard of Social/Super Pro Wrestling Federation before.
This show can be found on the Internet Archive.
- Fu-Ten - 2009.04.26 - BATI-BATI 26 - BATI BATI 4th Anniversary

- Someone on Cagematch called the wrestling of this promotion "meditative". This intrigued me. This is a shoot-style promotion
also, which is my favorite type of wrestling if you couldn't tell by now. I know nothing about Fu-Ten other than that.
This show can be found on the Internet Archive.
- Unemployment Pro Wrestling - 2018/10/21 - 「祭日」・マスクVs.グレイト雑魚 Masked Holiday Vs. Great ZAKO
- One of Keita Yano's bizarre matches. ~30m
- Newborn UWF - 1988.08.13 - UWF The Professional Bout

- I am on a mission to watch all available UWF events available online. So far I've watched the first
two (haven't logged them on here) and it's time to move on to the third. Norman Smiley makes an appearance.
Takada vs Yamazaki should be a banger. Maeda takes on mixed martial artist Gerard Gordeau, of UFC 1 fame, on the
main event.
Rewatch
Legend:
- !!! Notable match
- ??? I should have payed more attention
- ?!?/!?! Notable match and I should have payed more attention
The shows are in descending chronological order (most recent one on top).
- Marigold - 2025.12.31 - New Year's Eve 2025-2026

- Rookie tournament was pretty fun. Megaton being in contention was funny in itself. Surprisingly Shinno managed to
get a decent serious match out of Megaton. Yamazaki got a lot more offense than I expected in her match against
Yamaoka, but it still wasn't enough. Yamaoka beat the fresher Shinno, she needs to work on her stamina I think.
Her German Suplex looks great. I really like that Yamaoka gets extended mat work segments, but they need to have more
of a purpose. Yamaoka would do well to learn from some shoot style guys. The Marigold Rumble was very entertaining.
Yuzuki's bold haircut! Lots of funnies, but some good in ring work as well. Megaton had a second chance to make an impact
but she was almost immediately thrown out. Darebo imploding was also fun. Insane elimination on Iwatani. Award ceremony was whatevs.
Mochi pounding segment would have been great if there was less of a language barrier. Each player got a small promo on what 2025
was like for them and what their goal for 2026 was and then they got to pound the mochi a couple of times. Rea's SenJo background
showed, she pounded that mochi like a pro. Ending year change ceremony had great energy and atmosphere, balls were thrown,
poses were struck, photoshoots were done, GoChika even went on a video call with Yuuki Minami so she wouldn't miss
the year-change ceremony. It was all very sweet and festive and heartwarming. Marigold is so feel-good man. Looking forward to watching
the big show in 1/3.
- Marigold True Victory 10/12/2025

- Chanyota vs. Megaton repeated finishes was funny. Yamanaka, Ishikawa, Hummingbird three way also had its funny moments,
like when they were trying to imitate Yamanaka's flashy pin. Then they transitioned well into more serious territory. These two matches
were more entertaining than I expected, a good comedy fix.
Semi main 3v3 tag was also decent. Main event Twin Star match was great, CHIAKI and Yuuki Minami had their best performance to date.
Minami is great at being the underdog in peril, she sells like death anc she also did some very strong dropkicks and a cool pinning hold.
Seeing GoChika having to save her and clean house was very entertaining. Her being the workhorse of the tag team will also help her
improve her stamina! The DareBo Summit segment ruled, Rea as the polite heel was so endearing! Good mic segment to close the show by CHIAKI.
I think that's enough Marigold house shows for now. ~2h
- Marigold True Victory Noon & Night 06/12/2025

- Marigold has grown to be one of the most consistently entertaining promotions for me. Lots of storyline
development in these two shows!
- Noon: Does a good job of building Hummingbird up for her challenge on the night show. GoChika & Minami
vs. Darebo was a pretty fun tag, didn't even mind the countout finish as there was nothing at stake. Main
event Yuzuki UN defense against Matsui Misa was a basic match executed very well, although I do think the
crowd could have made a bit more noise and that these two could do better on a bigger stage than random house #3000.
Yuzuki's Victory Shooting move looks like it can kill a joshi... Megaton unfortunately didn't deliver the goods this day,
her match was pretty bad.
- Night: Megaton vs Komomo was funny and good, what a match! Semi main was good too. Hummingbird stepped up
big time on the main event. Super happy for her, she gets to redo her disastrous Marigold debut with Iwatani and she
does great! It helps that one of the greatest in the world is with her in the ring, but the bird shows great fire and
pulls out some cool moves without getting ahead of herself or messing up anything. Not one messed up spot! Unbelievable.
I love Hummingbird's short fuse and her devilish screaming make her stand out from the otherwise happy-go-lucky or stoic Marigold
roster. Her springboard crossbody to the outside was also awesome. Post-match poor Komomo had to endure
Iwatani talking down to her and the crowd joining in by laughing to her jokes. It seemed to get to Komotan, she looked about
ready to cry by the end. Thankfully Miku Aono was there to comfort her in the show closing segment. Done like a true ace, props
to Aono. Prove em wrong Komotan! Have an awesome match like Hummingbird to prove you're ready to step it up! Iwatani vs Komomo
should be a banger, it truly will be a high-speed match. The rest of the matches were pretty mid.
- !!! Sendai Girls - 2025.11.16 - Hashimoto 10th Anniversary Show “KAIBUTSU A DECADE” !!!

- Was really looking forward to this. First two matches are only ok, although Senka climbing the turnbuckle and hitting her big frogsplash was awesome. Senka rules. Aja Kong, Yuu
and Sakura Hirota comedy match was a good laugh, Yuu thinking Hirota was Hashimoto and Sakura not being able to stand the high impact offense
of Team 200kg was funny. !!! Natsupoi & Aya Sakura vs Bob Bob Momo Banana was a very vcool match. Momo Banana's stamina is off the charts. At some point Natsupoi
and Momono Mio start doing some crazy acrobatic spots where they try to out-flip each other and it's awesome. This felt like a Natsupoi introdcution.
The Momo Banana repeated dropkicks spot must be so brutal for all parties involved. Would love to see this again. !!! Maria vs DASH was
a bit underwhelming ufnortunately. Iroha & VENY vs Red Energy I also expected to be a bit more exciting, they just started throwing bombs out of
the gate like it was nothing. It was still very enjoyable. !!! Well big Hash vs Sareee was a masterclass as expected. I've never seen anyone
throw basic forearms strikes with as much force as Sareee in this match, how did she not break her wrist like Giulia did in the first Marigold
show?? Big fucking slams. Big fucken moves. Sareee hits five Uranages and 2-more wrist-clutch style ones. Hash gives her the stiffest powerbomb
I've ever seen. How did Sareee not break her neck? I loved Sareee's shoot-style kneebars. Usually in a match like this limb work feels obligatory
to pan out time, but Sareee attacks with such ferocity that it seems like it's giving her a genuine advantage. It's like watching wrestling for the first time again. What a great rivalry. What a match. You don't have to sell if the other
person is throwing bombs. You don't have to try to reverse shit if you just want to see who the tougher and meaner person is. Winning doesn't mean shit
if you just want to show you're the stronger one. Bring on everything you've got! !!! Great show by SenJo
all around. Looking forward to more of their big shows, this is quite an exciting time for them. ~3h
POWERBOOOOOMB!!!!
- !!! Kakuto Tanteidan - 10/23/2025 - Fighting Detectives IV ~Straight Ahead~ !!!

- Overall this was an enjoyable show and I really missed the KTDan style. However this has to be the weakest of the bunch. It's
ok, you can't have all-time classics every time. The show opens with Ari Najima from Sportiva vs Kosuke Sato!
I recently found out about them, so it all comes full circle. About as standard a KTDan match you can get,
good grappling, stiff striking, it's all there! Could have used a bit more drama. I really liked Najima's strikes,
especially his wild hammer swings/haymakers/clubs, whatever you wanna call them. 2nd match
had some cool new faces in Kengo Mashimo and Yuko Miyamoto, I was really impressed with the latter. Lots more drama in this and
I think it made it a more enjoyable match. brother YASSHI looks a lot less out of place here, he's adapting to this style
well. !!! Manabu Hara vs Keita Yano is a very interesting match! I thought I remembered Yano from Lidet UWF's first show, but it was
a false memory. He's absolutely mesmerizing. Truly a loose cannon, you don't know what to expect each moment
from him. His dejected body language is very unsettling in a puroresu world where everybody is intense and emotional.
Manabu Hara is a great straight man for him, he is Yano's exact opposite and he makes his opponent look like a star. He puts him
in his place when he gets too cocky with some stiff strikes, but also sells for all of Yano's oddball grappling. Yano's got a lot of that and he also
has stuff like an incredible transition into the tightest sharpshooter you'll see. Yano seems truly one of a kind in this match.
Dude makes art with his broody wrestling. He wrestles like he's really lonely, sad and given up, in a good way! This match has to be seen to be believed. !!!
Next up is the veteran tag. I was happy to see Yone. The match was lighthearted, with glimpses of heat and some creative mat work,
as a veteran match should be. The real winners are all four of them for being able to step into the ring after all those years of wrestling.
I had some fun. Hidaka can still go. I wish we saw stiffer lariats from Yone and I hope he comes back to KTDan.
The main event was fine although I think I expected more. It had maybe a bit too much of Abe's bollocks. I liked the PK kick
trading spot, those looked like they hurt and I thought the finish where Sato kicked Abe's leg outta his leg was cool.
A unique match in terms of bachi-bachi style, but I've seen better. ~2h
- !!! Sendai Girls Pro Wrestling in Sendai PIT 17/10/2025 !!!

- Nishimura vs Kouga was very sloppy, ultimately pretty bad, although both were at fault for that, not just Nishimura. If
anything she hit an impressive body slam after she deadlifted Kouga. Still a bit lame that she's going to the finals.
Nightshade vs DASH Chisako was very entertaining,
Nightshade is a very good big woman and her mocking the crowd was pretty funny too. Big meaty 6-woman had good action and a positive atmosphere,
Ryo Mizunami was cracking up Team 200kg all the time with her upbeat personality. I really liked Soy's spunk, she's my favorite of the Evolution gals.
YUNA vs Senka was a great technical match, I was really invested! YUNA bust out a slingblade holy shit!!! There was a weird jarring cut,
first time I've ever seen anything like that in WU. I want to see more Senka vs YUNA please!!! Well, mostly more YUNA. I think she's
going to be future great. !!! Main event tag was awesome! Superassed my expectations. Bob Bob Momo Banana's tandem offense is so exciting
and unique. Their silly antics have a great victim in surly striker Iwata and energetic brawler Takase. These two don't really
pull out their best moves, apart from some particularly nasty lariats from Takase, but let Momo Banana shine after they bully them
a little bit. Oka deadlift suplexed Iwata! You wouldn't expect the banana girl to be that strong. I was pleasantly surprised Momo Banana's win!
I think they're challenging for the tag titles? As they should after a performance
like this! Watch this match! !!! This was a very worthwhile event overall, just skip the opener.
- !!! Kakuto Tanteidan III ~ One Life To Live 8/4/2025 !!!

- Holy shit the first matches are insaneee!! I knew I was onto something when I thought Nagao was the
best thing in the REAL ZERO1 shows. Good on him to get out of there too, ZERO1 looks like a dead end
lately. Ishikawa vs Nagao delivers big hard hitting action, it's awesome but I thought it lacked some much needed
technical wrestling. Then Masashi Takeda vs Kosuke Sato comes and it blows everything out of the water.
You want stiff strikes? You want exciting grappling? You want deadly submissions? You want drama? This match
has it all, probs one of my favorite matches ever! Takeda looked so scary after blood coming out from above his
ear, it was traumatizing. I think Takeda is my favorite male wrestler and I've only seen two matches of his,
both on Kakuto Tanteidan cards. The two following matches I found boring after those emotional highs. Main event
is very good, but we've seen better in the singles matches between Nomura and Abe. Fuckin watch the two
opening matches of the show now!!!
Some moments from this great match. Both of these guys' explosiveness in performing techniques and storytelling through facials is on top!
- JTO GIRLS SPECIAL 東京・Shinjuku FACE 29/8/2024

- First match was pretty sloppy and bad but it was nice to see Yoppy. Second match was pretty good,
Yamagata and Azusa were a level above the other two. Big Haruka's debut was one of the most
exciting debuts I've ever seen, the crowd was so rabid for her! UWA World Light Heavy title
match between Kagura and Yanagawa was an all-out guns-blazing sprint that was very satisfying.
I want to see more from these two, especially Yanagawa! Main event Tomoka vs Aoi really disappointed
me, Aoi's first kick was awesome but they almost immediately dropped the heated opening in order to
do some limb work that blatantly only served to pad out the time. And they didn't even have enough
stamina to give one last sprint at the 20-minute mark! Boo. I lost them at the limb work and they
didn't win me back ever. Still happy for Aoi. This is another Tomoka match that I've left disappointed
from. Many mic appeals to close the show, I skipped some of them. Yuu Yamagata vs Aoi should be
awesome though. ~2h
- !!! TJPW Summer Sun Princess '24 20/7/2024 !!!

- 6-woman opener was awesome, there's something special about last
year's rookie class... Mei vs. Takami and 2nd 6-woman were fun. Kamiyu
vs. Sekiguchi was good, Nao Kakuta shenanigans included after all! Kamiyu
is turing into a deadly killing machine. !!! 121000000 vs. Mizuki &
Sakura is amazing! !!! Kong vs. Nakajima is an explosion of violence.
!!! Tag title match is also amazing! Daisy Monkey's fast teamwork vs.
Arai heavy-duty firepower and Miyamoto's hunger for her first title! !!!
Main event is very good but I was tired by then.
Killer combination! Poor Mizuki!
- !!! Sendai Girls Korakuen Hall Event 15/7/2024 !!!

- The opening matches are entertaining but nothing special.
!!! Haven't had that much fun with a hardcore match in a while. !!! Tag title
match was pretty fun, classic Senjo action. Glad for the upset! Main event
was heated, dramatic, high impact and very good, a bit sad for the end of
this Mika Iwata era... I really liked her as champion. Excited for
the Chisako challenge! She had the best match on this card!
- MARIGOLD Summer Destiny 2024 13/7/2024

- Opening match was fiery. Showzuki vs. Matsui was awesome. MIRAI vs.
Aono and subsequent Bozilla match was also awesome. Semi-main was awesome.
Main was very good.
- Sendai Girls Pro-Wrestling EDION Arena Osaka 13/7/2024

-
I didn't expect Manami vs. Yurika Oka would be so heated, it was pretty cool.
I didn't really care for Lena Kross in the semi-main. The main was pretty fun.
Consistently very solid puro from Senjo, they are quickly becoming my
favourites with their no-frills product.
- TJPW Nao Kakuta produced the show CROSS 6/7/2024

- Funny battle royal where TJPW wrestlers dressed as different
Naos. Proof that Nao has good fashion sense, black and purple
looked great on everyone! Main event was awesome, very fast pace and at times
even hard-hitting. Some nice technical wrestling as well...
Rewatch maybe...?
-
- King Of DDT 20th anniversary 1st Round 5/6/2024

- Higuchi match is a big hoss-fest with drama. It's ok.
- TJPW YES! Wonderland '24 6/5/2024

- Tag title match was good, but Uehara & Himawari still got a long way to go.
PuriPuri main has some great technical wrestling at the beginning, quite good
storytelling match, but Watanabe still needs to work harder, she barely won.
Toga is great in the opener. HIMAWARI looking very sexy
in the Tag title pre-match promos and a good main event.
- Sendai Girls Pro Wrestling Shinkiba 1stRING Tournament 10/5/2024

- Only last three matches are worth it. Tag team main event is very good, very
much worth a rewatch.
- !!! King Of DDT 20th anniversary 2nd Round 5/6/2024 !!!

- Small show, skipped everything and went straight to Higuchi vs. Ishikawa.
Amazing match, 10/10 MUST REWATCH for some great hard-hitting action.
Big meaty men slapping meat at its best! Main event is good, MAO is awesome,
I don't yet care about To-y.
- !!! NOAH Sunny Voyage 18/5/2024 !!!

- Go Shiozaki vs. Ryohei Oiwa main event: Very good battle of attrition between two big
heavyweights, awesome match. Oiwa shows the progress he made during his
months in NOAH. Very worth rewatching.
- !!! Marigold Fields Forever 20/5/2024 !!!

- Good two openers, amazing main event, the rest are skippable! Check it out.
~3 hours
- Nanae vs. Victoria Yuzuki is a super heated opener, good match with lots of
drama.
- Miku Aono vs. Nao Ishikawa is the best of the three first matches,
very impactful. Not many power moves, but there are cool moves here.
- !!! Utami Hayashishita & Giulia vs. Sareee & Bozilla !!! : Amazing main
event, it's insane how high impact this was. Rewatch ASAP!!! Giulia takes
insane punishment from Sareee, big bruiser Bozilla is a modern age female
Stan Hansen.
- NOAH Star Navigation 21/5/2024

- Glorified tour show. Everything was boring apart from the main event
which was ok. Oiwa being cool and rejecting everyone was the best part of
this show.
- !!! NOAH Star Navigation Night 2 22/5/2024 !!!

-
- Sasaki vs. Sato: Cool technical match, with a hint of shoot-style. It was
enjoyable but I won't be missing it anytime soon.
- !!! Masa Kitamiya vs. Tomohiro Ishii !!!: Very hard-hitting action, super
stiff, big meaty men slapping meat action just how I liked it. It's not perfect
but it's pretty good.
- Jake Lee & Tadasuke vs. Tetsuya Naito & Shingo Takagi: Some good stiff
lariats and hard action between Tadasuke and Takagi towards the end but
not the best. It's an ok match though.
- !!! Kenoh vs. Minoru Suzuki !!! : Sadist Suzuki is really scary in his role,
raw visceral bloody action, Kenoh perserveres through fighting spirit (not
defiance?) and there's a lot of strikes exchanged. Suzuki's forearm strikes
are sick. Didn't climax as I had hoped but it's still pretty good. 3 PFSs
on Suzuki! Kenoh makes a promise in-ring to leave the Suzuki-gun days behind.
Much better than the first day, more hunger in matches, more excited crowd.
Worth watching. Rewatching? We'll see.
- !!! SENDAI Girls Pro Wrestling Azalea Taisho Hall 18/5/24 !!!

- Mio Momono & Yurika Oka vs. Chihiro Hashimoto & Yuu is a great main event,
best SENDAI Girls match I've seen so far. Hard-hitters Hashimoto and Yuu
vs. scrappy and energetic Oka and Momono.
- King Of DDT ~20th Anniversary~ 26/5/2024

- Kazusada vs. MAO was awesome. Brookes vs. Sasaki was whatevs. MAO vs. Sasaki
final I don't even remember. I don't really care for Sasaki, but MAO and Higuchi
are awesome.
- NOAH Limit Break .2 29/5/2024

- Owada vs. Sekimoto was cool. Kotoge vs. Akiyama had a good finishing stretch.
Main event time limit draw was very hard-hitting between Saito and Shiozaki.
Worth for the main event, otherwise closer to any other tour show rather than the first
LIMIT BREAK.
- !!! Yoji Anjo vs. Masakatsu Funaki (UWF Newborn 6-14-89)
!!!
- Great shoot-style match that has a lot of heat and mixes up strikes and
technical wrestling. Very impressive, very worthy of a rewatch. ~23m
-
Marigold Grand Opening Wars 2024 26/5/2024

- Noon was slightly above average tour show. Bojira appearance was awesome in a
triangle match with Hayashishita and Victoria Yuzuki. I watched most of the night
show from the DIGEST in their youtube channel.
I watched semi-main and main event in full and they were both pretty cool and heated.
Bojira was awesome as always in the semi main tag and all Hayashishita Yuzuki and Kouki
were good in the main.
Hayashishita ends the show with a sick deadlift german on Yuzuki!
- The Leave Presents LIMIT BREAK.3 19/6/2024

- Yone vs. Ishikawa was a very good short big hoss fest. This match
is what puroresu is for me! Could have been a bit longer...
Higuchi and Fujita started slow, so I thought it would go long,
but an explosion of violence at the end resulted in an early finish.
It could have been more violent! Saito v Vice was short and sweet.
Shiozaki Akiyama vs. Marufuji Sugiura main event was very enjoyable
and hard-hitting! Shiozaki and Marufuji beat the crap out of each other!
Very old school in a very heartwarming way. This is a worthy successor
to LIMIT BREAK 1! I want more! I think this is what I want to watch out
of NOAH, despite the match qulity not being as good as the main NOAH
product. This feels more sporting-like.
- NOAH GRAND SHIP 2024 in YOKOHAMA 16/6/2024

- Kitamiya Inaba vs. Alexander Taniguchi was pretty fun and hard-
hitting. Titus Alexander bust out some pretty impressive moves!
- Junior 6-man was cool, Eita is always awesome and AMAKUSA was
spinning and twisting and turning all the time which was fun
(first time seeing him).
- People didn't care too much about the Oiwa HAYATA v Sasaki Ogawa
match either, but I cared! Sasaki and Oiwa are awesome! Sasaki is
becoming quite deadly... All those tag matches with Sugiura payed off...
- Daga v Starboy pretty cool junior match! Charlie is so dreamy....
Easy defence for Daga.
- "If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself." Tag
title match was solid with a great finish.
- Gabe Kidd got all the crowd brawling out the way in the beginning
and a hard-hitting main event was left. Fav part was when he suplexed
G-man! It was a pretty good main event, but not particularly special.
But that challenge??? OHHHH!!!!
- This was overall good but not especially breathtaking. Nice
undercard! Kitamiya Inaba vs. Alexaner Taniguchi and Oiwa/Sasaki tag
matches were great! Main event is worth it but not special. Cool show.
Pretty exciting to see all the new blood clawing away at the established
wrestlers.
- SENDAI Girls Pro-Wrestling in Shinjuku FACE 9/6/2024

- Watching a Wrestle Universe event live in full for the first time,
missed the first match. Comedy 2nd match was pretty funny. 3 v 3 was
good and heated (Chisako vs. Iwata coming up?). Team 200kg semi-main
was absolutely amazing, Hashimoto especially pulled off some extremely
impressive moves. Worth a rewatch? Main event tag title bout was heated
and not as hard-hitting but was full of drama. Did Oka manage to win her
first title...? (the Senjo Junior championship doesn't count)
Unique transitions to a powerful gutwrench suplex! Hashimoto is awesome!
- TJPW PRISM '24 9/6/2024

- Kazashiro has come far in her 1 year of wrestling, Okubo's development
was hampered due to her months-long abscence due to exams. They didn't
pose a challenge to the tag champs but they were able to throw them
off their game and have a competitive match at least. Kamiyu &
Aja Kong 6-man tag was entertaining. Arai match was ok. PuriPuri
title main was dirty and ugly but in a good way. Some tasty stiff
strikes towards the end. Watanabe Miu is having a real cruel bloom as
champ.
- NOAH Star Navigation 2024 9/6/2024

- Kiyomiya & Kenoh vs. Jake Lee & Gabe Kidd main event! Kondo
& Eita challenge for the junior tag titles! Owada, Oiwa, Morris vs.
Marufuji! ~2h 30m
- Kitamiya & Oiwa 6-man was a gorgeous match. Hard hits but mostly
bone-crunching suplexes galore. Everyone was awesome (Titus was only ok).
Rewatch? Not as grand but very satisfying.
- Morris vs. Marufuji was
pretty cool, it got quite heated by the end but they've got more to
give. Morris' star is starting to shine, he's becoming better and
better every show...
- Junior tag title bout was mostly meh but built up to and awesome
end.
- Didn't care for the hardcore nature of this match. I liked
Gabe Kidd's fire in his opening promo, but then he started wrestling
like a hooligan... I'd like to see him in a few years after he's
matured and learned sportsmanship. He looks awesome, though.
Didn't care for the double count out finish either.
- NOAH Wrestle Magic 4/5/2024

- I didn't get to watch it when it was first streamed. Sasaki & Sakuraba vs.
Sato & Taniguchi shoot-style match! Marigold 6-woman! Oiwa tags with Inaba!
EHDDWJr vs. Kiyomiya GHC Heavy main! Probs ~5h
- Kenoh vs. YAMATO was pretty cool. YAMATO is a really
charismatic personality.
Martial arts tag was ok, very cool outfit on Sasaki's debut.
Marigold 6-woman tag is not excellent, but it is very
enjoyable. Junior and junior tag matches I didn't care for.
I slept through most of the main event but from what I
caught it seemed very enjoyable.
Surgical roundhouse from Kenoh!
- NOAH Star Navigation 11/4/2024

- HAYATA vs. Morris is much better than I expected. TOKYO SCRAMBLE
8-man vets vs. current gen special is amazing. Special shoutout to
Shiozaki's lariat on Oiwa, it's a thing of beauty, really. Main event
is full of fury and anger and intensity between Kenoh and Kiyomiya,
although I would like to rewatch this. Kiyomiya trying to prove he
is no longer an up-and-comer and a naive youngster but established
and worthy of respect from Kenoh + trying to undo all the humiliation
from Kenoh in the buildup. Rest of the matches are ok but nothing
too special. A bit less than 3 hours.
The 8-man from this event is where I snatched this beautiful gif from!
- NOAH Star Navigation 2024 31/3/2024

- Most of this card is meh, EHDDW Jr. vs. Jake Lee main event is pretty good!
Lots of drama and storytelling.
- TJPW Grand Princess '24 31/3/2024
- Itoh vs. Suzuki was at times fun and at times traumatizing.
Arai vs. Kamifuku was ok. Tag title semi-main
Daisy Monkey vs. YukiNiki
was very dramatic. Main event was cool and fun. This show ushers in the
next gen of TJPW stars.
- ZERO1 Yasukuni Shrine 31/3/2024

- First three matches are simple to follow and quite enjoyable, especially the
Junya Matsunaga and Takumi Baba ones. NOAH vs. ZERO1 tag is also fast and fun.
Saito vs. Vice main event is ok, although the crowd was super into it, maybe
I didn't get it? Re-visit for some solid REAL ZERO1 action.
- Sendai Girls Pro-Wrestling 2024 in Shinkiba 1st RING -
"I'll never forget that" 17/3/2024

- First Sendai Girls event on Wrestle Universe! Very stiff in ring work!
Reminiscent of the stiffest of old school AJW matches. Great logo! Less
than 2 hours, 4 out of 5 matches are very good.
- !!! NOAH Limit Break Vol.1 15/2/2024 !!!

- Big meaty veterans slapping big meat and kicking the shit out of each other.
Fiery Kotoge takes defiant KENTA role in the main and kicks ass. Only 2 hours
25 minutes.
- TJPW Aquarium Pro-Wrestling In Yokohama 10/12/2023

- Yeah, this was whatevs.
